Incident Overview
The pilot added fuel and chemicals to the aircraft, resulting in a total cargo of about 230 gallons. The temperature was 87 degrees Fahrenheit, and the airport elevation was 1,100 feet. The pilot did not compute the density altitude and did not assess the aircraft's performance.
Sequence of Events
After takeoff, while turning in a crosswind, the aircraft "quit flying," according to the pilot. The pilot stated that he added power and dumped the load, but the tailwheel struck a power line. The aircraft then bounced and nosed over. The actual impact occurred on a downwind heading, as the aircraft was turning 180 degrees to spray a field adjacent to the airport.
Aftermath
The pilot made no recommendations for prevention of further accidents of this type.
